A real-world look at how we’re guiding our 5, 10, 15, and 17 year olds through life without school - what we’re coaching on, what’s working, what’s still messy, and how our role shifts as they grow.

I want to talk a bit more about that phrase we all know and - *cough* - love: falling behind. About a year ago, I went into detail (in episode 22 of the podcast) about how unhelpful that concept really is, and how we can think differently about where our...
You’ve stepped back, slowed down, let go of structure, but deschooling still feels hard. Why? In this episode, I explore the nervous system layer most parents miss…and how to shift from understanding deschooling to actually rewiring for it.
